Abstract

The aim of this study was to report our experience on the management of volvulus of the sigmoid colon in our service. Sigmoid volvulus is the twisting of the sigmoid colon around its mesocolic axis. It covered 50 files of patients operated on and hospitalized in the surgery department. Were included in our study all patients operated, hospitalized with well-filled medical records. Patients whose records showed abnormalities were not included in the study. The sex ratio of nearly 3.16 reflected a clear male predominance of the condition. The most affected age group was 35 to 44 years old, i.e. 12 cases with 24 percent. The average age was 28.61 years with extremes of 25 years and 95 years. In our series the farmers were the most affected in 22 cases. According to the history, we noted chronic constipation in 86 percent followed by high blood pressure in 11 cases. We also noted diabetes in 5 patients, tuberculosis in one patient and surgical history in 18 cases. On the clinical level, we noted the arrest of matter and gas in 48 patients, abdominal pain in 47 patients and vomiting in 38 patients. During surgery, 2 rounds were noted in 29 patients, 1 round in 17 patients and more than 2 rounds in 4 patients. The postoperative course was simple in 38 patients and complicated by parietal suppuration in 4 patients. Unfortunately we had noted 8 cases of death. The volvulus of the sigmoid colon is a formidable surgical emergency, the management is medico-surgical.
